The Heretics' Hour: Traitors and Misfits - Albert Speer, disloyalist

Carolyn Yeager relates how Speer's personal ambition brought him ever closer to Adolf Hitler as his architect, and to become the top man of 3rd Reich armaments development. Then, practically alone among the leading National-Socialists, he turned against both after the war and the Reich were lost. The manner in which he carried out his repudiation makes for an instructive lesson. Carolyn uses the writings of Speer himself and the memoir of Hermann Giesler to reveal Speer's underlying shifting nature beneath a brilliant exterior.
